Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Restless leg syndrome is generally genetic but higher incidence in iron deficiency is found.
You and your wife should get tested for iron profile.
Is there any blood relationship between you and your wife?
For treatment follow regular diet, timely sleep.
Avoid stimulants like caffeine, smoking alcohol during evening and night.
Massage and take hot water shower in evening.
Drugs like rotegotine, dopamine may be used.
